Our Story
Founded in 1998, Tropical Industrial Plastics started with a simple mission: to provide Florida's burgeoning tech and marine industries with superior-quality plastic components and unparalleled service. We saw a need for a supplier who could not only deliver materials but also provide the engineering expertise to solve real-world challenges.
From a small shop in Clearwater, we have grown into a nationwide supplier, but our core commitment to precision, partnership, and performance has never wavered. We invest continuously in our technology and our team to stay at the forefront of the industry.
Our Core Values
- Innovation: We constantly explore new materials and techniques.
- Precision: We believe in measure twice, cut once. Quality is not negotiable.
- Partnership: Your success is our success. We work with you as an extension of your team.
"Our greatest asset is our ability to listen. We listen to our clients' needs, we listen to the challenges of the materials, and we create solutions that speak for themselves."
— Jane Doe, Founder & Chief Engineer
